Yeah, I think a lot of this has to do with the lack of reading and writing skills present in many third world countires. This probably makes many in Islam easy to control. |
While this is true, I was referring to Muslims in the west.

Judaism believes that the Torah was given word for word from G-d to Moses. To the best of my recollection, Christianity never argued with this. Jesus certainly didn't.

Maybe, but I've never heard of that. Not sure why Christianity would argue that though when it is for another religion, even if it is a similar religion, so I don't see your point there - you lost me. This is like saying that Mohammed wrote word for word that of Allah. Not sure Christianity is going to argue that either - its pointless.

Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. Islam is a sort of offshoot of both. But Christianity doesn't recognize any legitmacy of Islam.
Muslims claim that Mohamed was Alah's direct and accurate messenger. Christians and Jews most certainly don't. However, Christianity and Judaism believe the Torah to be the direct and accurate word of G-d in a similar way. So your prior statement is certainly not true of Judaism and likely not of Christianity in this regard.

One can be born a Muslim and be completely ignorant of what Islam entails. One can also be a Muslim and be an apostate against Islam. Just 2 elementary examples.
